You know those sci-fi teleporters like in Star Trek where you disappear from one location then instantaneously reappear in another location? Do you trust that they are safe to use?

To fully understand my question, you need to understand the safety concerns regarding teleporters as explained in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQHBAdShgYI

I wouldn’t, because the person that reappears aint me, its a fucking clone. Teleporters are murder machines. Star Trek is a silent massacre!

    If I walk to the teleport pad, expecting to blink from Point A to Point B, but instead I experience a blink from Point A to Point A, I’m the kind of person who’d need to be physically coerced, threatened, or tricked into captivity, because I’d immediately hop off the pad like “uh why am I still here I’m supposed to be in Berlin, I’m not leaving until you refund my transport cost or get me to Berlin”. If I’m not conscious, then I’m the victim of criminal action, not the teleporter.

    Likewise, the version of me that just experienced a normal teleport would live their life as they would have anyways.
